Recently, students from Hills Grammar participated in the prestigious Da Vinci Decathlon, showcasing their exceptional skills and knowledge across a range of disciplines. The competition is renowned for challenging students’ intellectual and creative capacities through a series of rigorous academic events from a range of schools in the Sydney Region.
Our Junior and Senior School teams delivered outstanding performances, earning impressive results across various categories. Notably, our Year 6 students secured the top spot in Creative Producers and earned 3rd in Legacy. Additionally, the Year 5 students shone brightly, claiming 1st place in Art and Poetry, 2nd in Code Breaking, and 3rd in English. These victories highlight the diverse range of skills our students possess and their ability to excel in creative and analytical tasks.
In the senior categories, our Year 9 students secured 3rd in Cartography, reflecting their strong geographical and analytical capabilities. While our Year 11 students performed commendably, finishing 5th in Art and Poetry, further demonstrating the breadth of talent within our school.
The success at the Da Vinci Decathlon is a testament to the dedication of both students and staff. Our educators worked together with students and coaches who supported the students throughout their preparation and during the competition day, fostering a culture of excellence and curiosity.
This achievement not only celebrates our students’ success but also reinforces Hills Grammar’s commitment to nurturing well-rounded, intellectually curious individuals prepared to face future challenges with confidence and creativity.
